Research interests

My research addresses identifying the factors underlying risky and antisocial behaviours in young people and the development of interventions to reduce these problematic behaviours. Major focusses have been on conduct disorder and oppositional defiant disorder in children and adolescents, and risky driving in young motorists.

Other work has addressed suicide, self-harm and alcohol use. I have been involved in evaluating existing evaluations (e.g., for South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership) and designing novel interventions which have taken a variety of forms form small group sessions to information sheets.

In all cases interventions are informed by an understanding of the causal factors that underlie the target behaviour and by theories of behaviour change.
